Great writeup I wish I would have seen it sooner! I just bought some Supermicro SNK-P0040AP4 active heatsinks, which should work fine, but I would have used my CM Hypers that I have laying around instead! dropped temps significantly figured, why not upgrade my thermal compound after what 10 yearS? LOL I have some Shin-EtsuMicroSI but not sure I'm going to use it. On the new builds I switched to GELID EXTREME because in all the 'web tests/reviews' it was the only one that was 1. we'll seeįWIW: I used Artic Silver 5, and same I used on my SM HSF too. When I start loading up VMs that are active is a concern because some may cause high loads for 5-15min bursts. I can play Battlefield4 w/lots of other misc software running for work (no vms, etc) and load doesn't even approach 40%. I got some 3000rpm noctua industrial to put on there but for the $$ using those in my servers for less sound, and then will eventually replace the 5930k/hsf or comboįor what it's worth, and sorry to hijack. It's a MSI board and I have the PWM controls myself, it ramps up to max RPMs on the CPU cooler but isn't able to control the temp in PRIME95 w/high heat load. Yes PWM fans, I added a NOTUA on the other side too, and I have an exhaust fan right there, it comes in the front through the cooler and right out the back.
